If there is no mention of Manu’s body being buried or burnt in the holy scriptures, then Hindus must stop with this ritual. In the same way, Guru Nanak also has his resting place and some Sikhs even respect the dead by not cremating them. Similarly, in Buddhism, there is no mention of Buddha preaching about burning the body of the dead. This shows that none of these religious leaders taught their followers to cremate them after their death.
Did you know that, even after death, our soul resides in our body for a certain period of time? Souls visit their burial place. Have you ever wondered about this?
As human beings, are we not supposed to ask ourselves if it is not a crime to burn fellow humans after their demise?
Every individual possesses self-respect which is a gift from the creator, and we must give them respect back, especially when they leave this world. If we cannot offer people respect while they are alive, then the least respect we can give is letting them go after their death without burning their bodies. This is human etiquette, and it is a basic right.
